RE: Can you ever reject mail based on RFC2821 MAIL FROM?

2004-04-27 16:35:31


The domain owner can let the receiver know that specific 
fields are to 
or not to be relied on for MARID checking. For example, if the domain 
owner sends mail with correct 2821 MAIL FROM but uses all kinds of 
values for 2822 From header, he wants the ability to let the receiver 
know that only 2821 data is to be relied on and not 2822 data. 

No he does not, it does not work.

Sender uses the following domains

2821:  Useless.com
2822:  Bonkers.com
2822:  Hopeless.com
2822:  TotalFailure.com

Where do you say 'ignore the 2822 data'?

Useless.com - this allows a spammer to disable all 2822 checking at his
option, that is so not happening.

Bonkers.com? If you don't want to have it checked then don't define a MARID
record, or point the MARID record to Useless.com.
